This-n-that

I am filling more orders tonight and taking a break while Rob runs to the market for me. I have a few photos to share, but I will do that later in a different post. It’s a mish mash of photos from the past few weeks.

GRACE LOST HER FIRST TOOTH!!!! Wait till you see her silly new grin. I love it!

The garden is doing amazing! We already have a few tomato plants flowering. Our peas are about to flower any day, we have lettuces and kales and spinach and arugula just about ready…the list goes on and on.

We got a new canopy today fo rthe market. It’s an easy up and it’s a little harder than they make it, but still better than what we had. No parts to lose! Yay! I have a sign to make tonight or tomorrow too as it has a sign banner. I love it.

Let’s see, what else? Oh, I started running again and found that even after a couple of years I STILL have just over a 7 minute mile at a slow jog. Yay! Marathon running here I come (oh how I can’t wait to do that again!)

I ahve a lot of new pins that I have made. I have to take photos of those yet, but they are pretty cool. A great example in recycling art! Some of them are up on the Forest Faeries etsy shop. I will have something SUPER special up shortly. I have to finish it tonight as well (see, I need less to do….too bad I love everything I do.)

Okay, I have a crying babe, so I need to run. Off to nurse and then back to orders and soap for farmers market! Just wanted to quick update….photos later, I PROMISE!!!!

Wow–a 7 minute mile is your slow jog? Even after running cross country in high school I was never able to break an 8 minute mile! Granted I didn’t do CC to win, just to be in shape. Anyway I am very impressed!

I’m impressed, too. When I trained for my marathon I was almost 50 pounds heavier than I had been when I was in cross-country, and my times showed it. My miles were more like 12-14 minute ones, which made them slow and painful. Thankfully I’ve lost lots of weight, and intend to start running again soon.

kelley, where do you run? what marathon did you run? I am not necessarily training for that again, yet, but before 30 I owuld like to run again the Twin Cities Marathon of Grandma’s in Duluth. I ran the TC when I ran last. I dont think I trained properly. I had to bow out at 17.6 miles. GRR. Its a great marathon though.
